Kevin, In looking at the JJD product list, it appears that the company manufactured two categories of FT-17, at least as far as "Pieces" are concerned. One type is cited as coming with six parts, while the other comes with two parts. I have the six part version, which will accommodate the...

Wayne, each pic that you publish appears to be better than the one before. Good job:salute:: -Moe

Hiya Al, The Monogram 1/48 kits were definitely my favorites, but did you ever build the 1/32 F3F-3 kit? Wasn't a great scale model, but it had the most marvelous "Rube Goldberg" landing gear imaginable. If you got all the gears and struts lined up just right, you could raise and lower the...

Thank you, Robin. To the best of my recollection, my first exposure to the '190 came in the form of the box art from a Monogram kit: As is suggested by my picture, the image above really stuck with me. Might have been eight at the time. -Moe

Wow, Duke, a greatest hits thread:cool::salute:: -Moe

CNQ, the fuel tanks being modeled were made out of paper. They could only be used once, and were ersatz replacements for metal tanks that were in short supply. 2-3 hours after being filled, the glue holding the layers of paper together would begin to dissolve, and the tanks would begin to leak...

Looking good, Wayne:salute:: Like the way that you're blending layers. -Moe

Jenkins' figs appear a bit too girthy, perhaps, but that's toy soldiers, right? In evaluating the height, we have to assume that the model is 1/30 (which JJD is good about, as far as models). Remember, the Mustang was simply smaller than planes like the P-47, Corsair or Wildcat. -Moe

On the figure size, let's audit some photos...

Sweet looking, Wayne. Well dones:salute:: -Moe

You're welcome, Wolgang, and glad that you like my model pics! :D -Moe

Well, it appears as though Julie may be out of pocket. So, here are the pics: I should add that there's accompanying text, but nothing that can't wait.

Mike, Tell you one thing, I seriously doubt that there's a more widely accepted expectation of government than that it protect its citizenry. Back in 2015, I recall the mayor of Baltimore stating the following, only to have her town go up in flames: Source...

Mike, Your "dirt" surface almost looks like clay. Is it some sort of synthetic material? -Moe

I was looking at the Mustang pics on FB, and noticed something that I want to comment on. Not because there's a huge problem, but because I believe that the pics reveal an interesting aspect of model rendering among TS-makers in regard to surface detail. Specifically, it occurs to me that toy...

Duke, Certainly a big plus of the model is the type's myriad livery choices. Lots of great looking Mustangs to choose from. It'll be interesting to see how many that Jenkins eventually manufactures. Just in the way of a personal prejudice, I find the cardboard, 108 gallon drop-tanks developed...

I agree on the crew. :cool: In fact, I like them better than the model! Betcha MS Julie will have the pics up before you know it. -Moe

Mike, Are you delighted because the gal was arranging a protest or because she was arrested? ;) -Moe
